Vacation Rental Policies

FREE NIGHTS & SPECIALS

We are now offering reservations up to 24 months in advance. This allows you to lock in your dates, along with the currently advertised rental rate. For bookings in advance of 12 months, there is a non-refundable processing fee plus 10% of base rent due at time of reservation.

AMENITIES

Availability of on-site amenities, such as pools, is not guaranteed. No refunds will be issued for changes made by individual property owners or unavailable amenities.

LENGTH OF RENTAL

Some minimum lengths of rental (i.e., three nights in condominiums and one week in houses) apply during summer and peak summer seasons.

Weekly only restrictions require a Saturday-to-Saturday rental.

Monthly reservations are available October through February or March at participating properties.

INITIAL RESERVATION PAYMENT

If booking within a 12-month window, an Initial Reservation Payment equaling 30% of base rent, plus a non-refundable processing fee, will be required to secure the property. If your reservation is more than a year out, the remaining balance of your Initial Reservation Payment will be due one year before the first date of your stay. For those who have booked more than a year in advance, the processing fee was paid at the time of the reservation.

Initial Reservation Payment is payable via MasterCard, VISA, Discover or American Express at reservation time. Check-by-Phone is available for a non-refundable fee of 3% of check total.

The Initial Reservation Payment is a portion of your rent and will be applied to your grand total; therefore, it will NOT be refunded following your departure.

Payment in full at time of reservation is required if arrival occurs within 30 days for properties with 4 or fewer bedrooms or 90 days for properties with 5 or more bedrooms.

TAXES AND FEES

A non-refundable processing fee, to cover expenses associated with the initial reservation, is due at reservation time and applies to all reservations.

Lodging tax varies by property location.

Departure fees vary by size of property; see confirmation for details.

SECURITY DEPOSIT/WAIVER

You may participate in Meyer Vacation Rentals’ security deposit waiver program (the “Security Deposit Waiver Program”) by paying a fee to Meyer Vacation Rentals in the amount of $25 for 1-bedroom units, $50 for 2-bedroom units, $50 for 3-bedroom units, or $100 for units with 4 or more bedrooms. Upon payment of the Security Deposit Waiver Program fee, Meyer Vacation Rentals will waive your liability for unintentional damages to the rental unit that occur during your stay in an amount up to $1,000 for 1-bedroom units, $1,500 for 2-bedroom units, $3,000 for 3-bedroom units, and $4,000 (as applicable, the “Waiver Limit”) for units with 4 or more bedrooms; provided, that all such unintentional damages must be disclosed to management prior to checkout in order to be subject to the Security Deposit Waiver Program. Liability for damage (i) caused by intentional, malicious or grossly negligent acts or (ii) in excess of the Waiver Limit, is not hereby waived pursuant to the Security Deposit Waiver Program and you are responsible for all such damages. Unless you participate in the Security Deposit Waiver Program, a refundable security deposit must be delivered to Meyer Vacation Rentals. The amount of the refundable security deposit shall be set based on the size of your unit; a $1,000 refundable security deposit is required for units with 1 bedroom, a $1,500 refundable security deposit is required for units with 2 bedrooms, a $3,000 refundable security deposit is required for units with 3 bedrooms, and a $4,000 refundable security deposit is required for units with 4 or more bedrooms. The option to participate in the security deposit waiver program or payment of the refundable security deposit must be determined at the time of booking. If, during your stay at one of our rental properties, any damage to real or personal at of the unit results, the refundable security deposit shall be used to repair or replace such property. You will be notified in writing regarding any deductions to the refundable security deposit. All security deposits not subject to deductions shall be refunded within 45 days of departure. Any damages that exceed the applicable refundable security deposit or are not subject to the Security Deposit Waiver Program will remain your obligation and may be charged to the credit card on file (if for any reason such charges are not able to be charged to the credit card on file, you agree to pay us within ten (10) days of notice of such charges).

Travel insurance is optional but is highly recommended. If you decline the travel insurance, you acknowledge that changes or cancellations may result in loss of up to the total paid to date.

If you choose to opt out of the coverage at booking, you may later add the “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage by calling us within 21 days of your booking up until final payment. If you would like to add the “Sun Trip Preserver” coverage, you may call us to add it at any time before your final payment is due.
